From your wonderful photo-views, I can only say this must be a wonderful reptile house. I love the eyes on this pair of snakes.

Beautiful colors and detail. It seems like I can feel the surface of their bodies right under my fingers.

Phenomenal, wow, I'm so impressed the texture, the colour...do tell Manuela, how do you do it? I've never seen anything so clear through glass...special filter? do you use cloning stamp? are you just brilliant? ;)

@Lorraine: Thank you so much Lorraine ;)
Well, first a clean glass helps, then I just basically shoot as near as possible to the glass as I can and straight forward (not from the side, there will be too many reflections). Do watch out that no-one goes by behind you with vivid coloured jackets...
Also I prefer to use my small camera Olympus C730 for this kind of shots (not my Canon 400D). Add a little luck... voilà!
Thank you so much for your interest and enjoy your weekend ;)

I like that there are 2 heads and that they are tangled! Can't tell what belongs to who, like they are one... Great shot!

Brrrr... fürchtbar wirklich! Ungläublich meisterhaft , als ob es ein Kreatur gibt mit 2 Köpfen.
